No, but I've bathed many a dog who have. Have you ever been abducted by aliens?

You can do it! I've had similar troubles. One thing you definitely don't want to do is let yourself gain it back. It's much harder to lose it the second time, that's what I'm going through now. I'm 5'3" and I started at about 240, got down to 180, got into a car accident and went back up to 218 or so. Not fun at all, but…

That's an interesting them. I bet those colors will look great together though. For some reason I can picture that going really well in September haha.

That's amazing! Keep up the good work! I'm sure you will look fantastic regardless. I bought my dress last week and I can't believe how good I thought I looked. I've never felt so confident. I guess that's how I know it was the right dress!

My wedding is set for October 15th of this year and I'm so excited! We're having an outdoor/rustic themed wedding complete with fall colors and a bonfire (if the weather is still nice out like it was last year). Though it's a very small wedding (60 people or so) I still want to look my best and feel like a princess!

My name is Erica and I work a lot. I live with my fiance and our two fur babies and we've been together for nearly 4 years. We'll be getting married in October and I really want to lose about 40 lbs or so. I was in a car accident in October 2015 that lead me to gain weight back. Before I ever lost weight I was about 226,…

Of course you're welcome here, gnoble1001!

If you use the search tool, search for Fit Brides 2017. I'll see if I can invite you

I just made the group called Fit Brides 2017! Anyone is free to join! :)

I'll look for that group and maybe still make my own. I'm looking to get down to 175 by October and I'm currently fluctuating around 216 :( but I know I can do it if I'm consistent and have a group. I used to be super involved with the groups on here. If I form one, I'll post about it on this thread. Maybe I'll do it…

I'm not worried about diet sodas. As long as you don't live off it you'll be fine. I'm one of those people that it actually helps me stave of my sweet tooth most of the time, as long as I don't drink like more than a can or two a day (I don't usually drink it daily, too). I'm a researcher and I know that many studies don't…

I'm offended, that's they way I talk in person, but I like to type more eloquently.

That's what we thought but the study was done previously with rats that were already 'degendered' ( I can't remember the proper word)

I wonder why nicotine exposure in adolescent rats seems to affect female adults rats more than males earlier on but then it switches later on in life...

Highest weight: 226 lbs (June 2011) Current weight: 184.6 lbs (Dec. 30) Easter Goal: 163.9 lbs (or 160 if possible :)) Sane goal weight: 125 lbs Slightly cray-cray goal: 115 lbs :) (I'm 5'3" so this is still a very healthy weight for me) Weight to lose: 59.6-69.6 lbs (I figured I'll reassess when I get into the 130's) We…

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one needed a restart! We got this! If I'm extra good, I may even be able to make it all the way down to my goal weight, but I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself with all of these high hopes :blush:

Why didn't they include a way to 'Like' other posts in this new set up?

I haven't really read anyone else's posts just yet, but I do know that that article didn't sound very empirical at all. Also, I didn't feel it really told us anything that we didn't already know. What I got out of it was that those who crashed dieted lost weight faster, but apparently gained it back at the same rate as the…

I'm in the process of losing over 100 pounds. I've lost about 45 so far. My goal weight is between 125 and 115 but I started at 226, although I was probably over that weight at some point before I started my 'journey'. For me it's been slow going, but only because I've fallen off the wagon a few times, but I'm determined…

I'm 5'3 aiming for about 125, 115 at the lowest probably. I've still got a long way to go, however, as I've currently just made it back down to about 180 or so. I know it will take a while but I'm determined to make it! Feel free to add me, if you so please! :)

I'm no expert OP, but have you had your doctor test you for hormone imbalances? I don't want to scary you, but it could be an issue with your thyroid, especially if you really aren't losing any weight at all. I'd look into it just in case. I myself have really bad acne before getting on the pill, even though my doctor…

I never really count how many times I go but I feel like it's a lot. I drink about 14 to 17 cups of water a day, depending on my needs. I was just curious cause web.md scared me because it said if you go more than 10 times a day you have a problem lol.

I know exactly what you mean. I was just thinking about this last night because I had wayyy too many sweets yesterday but I was still under my calorie limit. I was also thinking about cause I've had issues in the past, and while I never actually purged, I did have some laxative. But I wish there was a like button for…

Just got my 60 in. It was so hard to get motivate to do it but once I hit 20 I was good to cruise right through.

I've been a bit afraid of eating in the actual cafeterias at school lately because I found a cockroach in the salad bar one night :sick: :sad: Soooo I've been steering clear of that lately. I think I might just cancel my meal plan next semester and go to the actual grocery store. I'd save money AND have better choices. And…

I just finished my 55 squats. I really have no idea what vegetable I'd like to try, maybe I can get some ideas from you ladies! :happy: Avocado is a fruit, btw :wink: (at least I think it is... :indifferent: )

I do have a few soups, problem is, the soup selection here at school is rather minimal. But they do have the basic vegetable soup and tomato soups and such so it's not all terrible haha

Thanks for all the input, guys! :) The only reason I do my real shopping on campus is my meal plan :/ Maybe I'll cancel it for next semester and just go to an actual grocery store.

45 Squats completed. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check in all weekend, however I did do my squats on Thursday, Friday and Sunday (Saturday was my rest day instead just because it was an incredibly busy day for me and I didn't get a chance really (isn't that sad? I didn't get a chance to do such a simple thing :/…

Thanks! Maybe I'll try that! It's a real pain going to the stores on campus to buy fruits and such because I have to dig through to find the best looking apples. I NEVER buy the oranges anymore because they look so gross. My mom wanted to buy me a mini crock pot for the dorm and I thought that was a silly idea, but maybe…
